ORIGINAL: freedomdwarf1 A tech company, or any other company for that matter, can offer whatever they feel like in perks. Many of those perks have strings attached. And yes, they would be taxed for it because it is considered a financial advantage. Some companies pay that tax for their employees but many don't. Yea sure, some airlines has strings attached like, if they take just one MC anytime in the year, their free flights will be taken away from them, but it is still a staff privilege. They get free flights if they achieve 100% attendance. How or why they get any benefits is irrelevant. These perks (from any company) are never a right. Some are 'earned' by performance or attendance or by some other measure - but that is individual to each compnay or even applied at a local office level. You can't compare what one company does with any other when it comes to perks. When I worked for DPD, if we hit our target for a month, we got free burgers at the end of the shift. But it was paid for by the boss of the depot from his own pocket. He probably got more than that back by some incentive bonus payment on his salary but nobody knows. Sometimes, if we coped with a particularly harrowing shift, the supervisor turned the coffee machine over to free dispensing all night. I don't recall that being done for the day or evening shifts.
